Now I know why I dislike computers!
Tried to print off my assignment earlier and all it printed was boxes! No words, not a single one. My computer and printer are now ganging up on me and I've spoken nicely to both of them for days, if not months. Spent all evening trying to solve the problem and it just got worse! Now all my pages are blank, not a single word left on any of them. I had to uninstal all the microsoft programmes and reinstal them but now I have to write everything up again as my hard drive appears to be infected with the same virus. Looks like I'm going to get no sleep for the next three nights :-( The only things on my side are that all the other programmes I've used and saved are not affected so I don't have to redo all of it.
Can't bear to look at the screen for any longer so I'm going to go off to bed and try to crack on tomorrow and just keep going. One thing I have learnt is that I really need to attend an indepth computer course. If anyone knows of one starting please let me know.
Nite nite everyone catch you Thursday. (if I'm still alive!)

Gettin' There! (slowly)
Although my assignment is done I am still learning when it comes to ICT.
I have learnt that when you save a file it matters which format you save it in. This I learnt from experience after screaming at my computer because I couldn't find the recordings I needed to put on my photostory only to have my son laugh at me because I'd saved them as movies instead of recordings. Needless to say he had great pleasure in showing me how to transfer them to the correct format.
The children have had a wonderful time making their photostories in school and these are going to be ongoing as they are adding to them every session. The aim is for them to have an individual record of what they have done during our sessions for the whole year. (I have just learnt how to burn these off onto a disc so I'm rather pleased with myself.)
The children have also been making 'Feelings Books' using 2Create. This they have loved doing and their books are nowbecoing quite large. I would love for you to share this but I still can't work out how to upload it. When I solve it I will show you.
Now on to the numeracy assignment. No rest for the wicked eh?
